Plains Twp. holds hearing on data-center overlay

Plains Township held a public hearing on a proposed zoning overlay district that would permit data centers as a conditional use, drawing strong opposition from residents concerned about property values, quality of life, and environmental impacts. The township previously enacted a six-month moratorium on new development proposals while drafting the zoning amendment. While no formal data center applications have been submitted, land acquisitions by firms like Mudiita Land Venture LLC and a joint venture of PPL Electric Corporation and Blackstone suggest potential future development.
